Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/twofactor_gateway/issues/274

In a world of phishers, it seems sensible to ensure the messages sent by a system are not generic, especially when we train people to be suspicious of messages. So if we can use the "name" element from the NC theming in the message sent to the user this increases its trust level.
So in the Signal message it currently reads "123654 is your Nextcloud authentication code" and with this enhancement it would read "123654 is your My Site Name authentication code"

Yes! I've briefly mentioned this at https://github.com/nextcloud/twofactor_gateway/pull/253#discussion_r308589512 but we should indeed do this!

The only concern right now is that theming isn't properly exposed via a public API in the Nextcloud server. But I'll open a ticket for it if it doesn't already exist.
